Aliens hide in plain sight in ‘Roswell, New Mexico’
By Kyla Brewer TV MediaExtraterrestrials have long been fodder for sci-fi television shows, movies and books, but a new TV series goes beyond typical alien cliches to address broader issues such as racism and immigration.
Biomedical researcher Liz Ortecho (Jeanine Mason, “Grey’s Anatomy”) learns that her one-time high school crush, Max (Nathan Parsons, “General Hospital”), is really an alien struggling to hide his true nature from those who wish to harm him in “Roswell, New Mexico,” airing Tuesday, March 12, on CW. Now a local Roswell police officer, Max isn’t the only alien in town, and his friends are also keen to keep their origins a secret.
“Roswell, New Mexico” is actually the second American television adap tation of the “Roswell High” book se ries by Melinda Metz. The first program, simply entitled “Roswell,” aired on The WB and UPN from 1999 to 2002 and followed the lives of teenage humans and aliens in the eponymous town. The prime-time soap quickly became a cult hit.
While “Roswell, New Mexico” does rely heavily on romantic story lines, the show digs deeper to touch on modern-day hot-button topics. In
stead of focusing on the lives of angst-ridden teens, the new iteration finds the main characters 10 years after graduation. In contrast to the earlier series, which was criticized for white-washing all of the main characters, CW’s new show is truer to the books, featuring a Latina lead and several other characters who represent the diverse population of the United States.
“I don’t believe in color-blind casting,” show creator Carina Adly Mackenzie explained in a February ew.com article. “’Roswell, New Mexico’ doesn’t attempt to portray a world in which racism and xenophobia do not exist, so we can’t arbitrarily fill roles.”
The show boasts a complicated web of alien and human characters, led by Mason as Liz, the daughter of undocumented immigrant Arturo
band,” 2012), who runs a local UFOthemed diner, the Crashdown Cafe.
He and his daughter are often the subject of suspicion, especially since Liz’s beloved sister, Rosa (Amber Midthunder, “Legion”), died in a car accident that also took the lives of two white girls. The official report claimed Rosa was high at the time, but a skeptical Liz is determined to find out what really happened.
Max’s fellow aliens include his sister Isobel (Lily Cowles, “True Story,” 2015), a lawyer who is intensely secretive, even with her husband, Noah (Karan Oberoi, “Counterpart”). Their friend Michael (Michael Vlamis, “Spiral,” 2018) hides his alien identity under his tough, bad-boy image.
In addition to Liz and her father, the town’s human population includes her best friend, Maria (Heather Hemmens, “Hellcats”), a local bartender completely oblivious to the existence of aliens. Liz’s former beau, Dr. Kyle Valenti (Michael Trevino, “The Vampire Diaries”), is the son of Sheriff Valenti (Rosa Arredondo, “Quantico”). Master Sgt. Jesse Manes (Trevor St. John, “One Life to Live”) sits at the head of a far-reaching government conspiracy. His son, Alex (Tyler Blackburn, “Pretty Little
Late Laughs
Conan
Liars”), has recently returned to Roswell after service overseas, but he’s unaware of his father’s true mission. All the while, Alex strives to meet his father’s expectations.
In Roswell, many of these characters face hatred and fear that threatens to tear their families apart. Unlike other sci-fi programs, “Roswell, New Mexico” doesn’t focus on the dangers aliens pose to humans. In this case, they’re the minority trying to avoid persecution like many of their friends and neighbors. Max and the other aliens may possess supernatural powers, including healing abilities and psychic links to those around them, but, for the most part, they try to lay low for fear of being outed, choosing instead to try to lead quiet, helpful lives.
“Roswell, New Mexico” has promising qualities, but it’s been slow to pick up in the ratings department. The first couple of episodes averaged 1.3 million viewers — a respectable showing but not stellar. In contrast, the first seasons of CW’s hits “Supernatural” and “The Vampire Diaries” each averaged more than 3.5 million. Pitted against ABC’s sitcoms “Black-ish” and “Splitting Up Together,” as well as the CBS drama “FBI,” Fox’s game show “Mental Samurai” and NBC’s critical darling “This Is Us,” “Roswell, New Mexico” will have its work cut out for it on Tuesday evenings.
Luckily for the cast and crew, some of the industry’s biggest powerhouses are associated with the project. Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, along with Amblin Television and Bender Brown Productions, all have a hand in the show.
If nothing else, the show’s setting is sure to attract some viewers as the site of one of the world’s most famous alleged UFO incidents. In 1947, a newspaper headline from the Roswell Daily Record read: “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region.” The military, however, soon addressed the confusion by clarifying that a weather balloon had crashed in a farmer’s field. Over the years, many conspiracy theories have claimed that aliens crash landed in Roswell that summer and the government covered it up. To this day, the area is a destination for UFO seekers.
Whether or not real aliens have ever been to Roswell, TV viewers can catch up with Max and the others in a new episode of “Roswell, New Mexico,” airing Tuesday, March 12, on CW.
El Chapo was convicted. Here’s the scary thing: he is a master of escape. In the past, he’s gotten out of two highsecurity prisons and, even more impressive, he once got out of his contract with 24 Hour Fitness.

Today, a jury in New York convicted Mexican drug lord El Chapo, and now he’s facing life in prison. I’ll have a joke about this after I’m 100 percent sure he’s spending his life in prison.

Lady Gaga won a Grammy for a song that was featured in a film that included a scene of her winning a Grammy — for that song. It’s like Lady Gaga-ception.

Head to head: Duff Goldman and Buddy Valastro face off
By Andrew Warren TV MediaIn the past few years, more and more shows about cakes have landed on Food Network. Sure, the tasty sweets have always been there, but lately it feels like there are more cakes, cupcakes and cake pops than you can shake a mixing spoon at.
Two men can share the credit for really setting the trend. Buddy Valastro and Duff Goldman’s shows “Cake Boss” and “Ace of Cakes,” respectively, were huge hits for the network, putting shows about decadently magnificent cakes on the map, and now the two titans of baking are going head to head to find out which one of them is the best.
“Buddy vs. Duff” kicks off Sunday, March 10. Over the course of six weeks, the two titans of cakes will be tested on their baking techniques, their design skills and their flavors. Each episode features two challenging rounds meant to test Buddy and Duff: a bake-off to test their skills and a cake-off to test their imaginations and decorating chops.
In this week’s premiere, the very first challenge is a personal one when the rivals are tasked with baking their favorite time-honored family recipes. For the cake-off round, Buddy and Duff get to work making cakes inspired by cars, complete with all the bells and whistles that we’ve come to expect from the two accomplished cake artists.
Over the course of the season, Buddy and Duff will have to make
desserts for a dog-pampering party, design enchanting illusion cakes for a magic show, prepare wedding cakes for a couple’s big day and even come up with carnival treats to serve to the patrons of a crowded amusement park. Every facet of pro-
fessional cake making will be tested, and both bakers need to bring their A game if they want to come out on top.
At the end of the six grueling weeks of competition, only one of the two bakers can be crowned the
king of cakes. Of course, it’s all in good fun for both of them — their rivalry is a friendly one, and they’re both really, really good at what they do. “Buddy vs. Duff” premieres Sunday, March 10, on Food Network.

Wizard and magizoologist Newt Scamander’s (Redmayne) fight against Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) takes him to France, where the dark wizard is on a mysterious mission. At the urging of his former teacher Albus Dumbledore (Law), Newt teams up with his old friends Tina (Waterston), Queenie (Sudol) and non-wizard Jacob (Fogler) to get to the bottom of Grindelwald’s
scheming, but as the dark wizard’s message of magical dominance over the world begins to find more than a few receptive ears, their mission becomes ever more urgent, and more urgent still when they discover that Grindelwald is pursuing a powerful weapon: the trou bled youth, Credence Barebone (Miller).
